Can anyone explain the duration to me??

Duration of a camshaft is how long it keeps the

Inlet/exhaust valve open for. So if you look af a 360* wheel and you have 260* cams, the camshaft has to go around 260* before the valve closes again. Lift is how far the valve opens as in height. So if standard camshafts lift is 8.5

And your aftermarket camshafts lift is 10.25

Then obviously the cam lobe is going to push the valve down open further by 1.75 which there for increase's air intake to in most cases create more horsepower. :)

Just a basic run down if you can't get your head around it I can be more thorough.

Cheers Josh.

which 260s did you have ? would be awsome if you have before and after dyno charts to see the difference between the two cams ?

There is no real difference loaded up on the dyno. I've seen a back to back, graph actually looks pretty close.

Same as -9s and -5s on the dyno, they don't look worlds apart in response or anything.

But the difference lies in the transient response or on/off throttle on the dyno and that's where things were noticed. Also dependant on the headwork that's actually been done, that compliments the cam setup, so it's no one singular thing

If the change was same setup to same setup and the only change was cams then it would been interesting to see the difference

I've seen on my 34 the difference from going to type Rs from type Bs and it was a fair bit, same peak power but every thing happened 800 rpm sooner give or take

so for my 6266 turbo (medium size single turbo) which already has a lot of grunt up top, would benefit from type R cams or there abouts, small duration 9.1 lift, to help spool and bottom end response

wonder why so many people go type b then

    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
    • 12.8 for a great condition, fully charged battery. If the battery will only ever properly charge to about 12.2V, the battery is well worn, and will be dead soon. When I say properly charge, I mean disconnect it from the car, charge it to its max, and then put your multimeter on it, and see what it reads about an hour later. Dieing batteries will hold a higher "surface charge", but the minutest load, even from just a multimeter (which in the scheme of things is considered totally irrelevant, especially at this level) will be enough over an hour to make the surface charge disappear.   I spend wayyy too much time analysing battery voltages for customers when they whinge that our equipment (telematics device) is causing their battery to drain all the time. Nearly every case I can call it within about 2 months of when the battery will be completely dead. Our bigger customers don't even debate it with me any more ha ha ha. A battery at 12.4 to 12.6 I'd still be happy enough with. However, there's a lot of things that can cause a parasitic draw in a car, first of which is alarms and immobilisers. To start checking, put your multimeter into amps, (and then connect it properly) and measure your power draw with everything off. Typical car battery is about 40aH. Realistically, you'll get about half this before the car won't start. So a 100mA power drain will see you pretty much near unstartable in 8 days.
    • Car should sit at 12.2 or more, maybe 12.6 or 12.7 when fully charged and happy. If there is a decent enough parasitic load then it will certainly go lower than 12.2 with time. You can't beat physics.
    • Ok guess I can rule out the battery, probably even the starter and alternator (maybe) as well. I'm gonna clean those leads and see what happens if it's still shit I might take it to an auto electrician. Unless the immobiliser is that f**king heavy, but it shouldn't be.  If I start the car every day, starts up perfectly never an issue. Isn't 12v low, shouldn't it be around 12.5v?
